Coverage note
If your address is not listed
The contractor network changes the ZIP codes it accepts from time to time. Calling is the quickest way to find out whether a contractor serves your street today. Mention your ZIP code and the nearest cross street when you call. Remember that separate cities near Boston, such as Cambridge or Somerville, have their own building departments and permit rules.
Neighborhood differences
Why each neighborhood gets its own page
A Dorchester triple-decker, a Charlestown rowhouse and a West Roxbury colonial were built in different decades, from different materials and with different exposure to wind and salt air. Their permit situations differ too, since some streets sit in or near historic districts. Each page covers the local housing, the common siding materials on those streets, the problems that come up there and the practical details of working on those streets.
